Contributed by Javy Diaz / edited by Paula Hemphill A while back a friend and I had a conversation over lunch at work. She said, "You know, Javy, financially there will never be a time where I'm going to have it together enough to sponsor a kid." "I totally understand," I said, "but if it's important to you, you'll find a way to make it work." Yeah, I really did that! "...Yeah. You're right. It is important. Let's do it!" she said after a moment. Then her friend chimed in, "Yeah! Me too. I want to do it too! It is important. We are so blessed. Why shouldn't we give to these little ones?" So we go upstairs to my desk and they pick out their kiddos. And that was amazing. But wait. There's more. These ladies are filling out their sponsorship forms and another co-worker walks by. "What's going on here?" she asks. I'm like, "We're transforming lives! What are YOU doing?" "How?" she asks. "Through World Vision. All the cool kids are doing it! You in?" I say. She's like, "Yeah, let's do it." Best. Lunch. Ever. You never know what God is up to. But know that He is always up to something. And how cool is it that He invites us into it with Him? P.S. meet my friends and fellow world changers! |
